How can I create a sensor to alert when file count in a folder exceeds X?

0

I have a sensor that monitors the file count in an FTP folder on one of our Windows servers. It works fine and always reports an accurate count.

I need to monitor a folder's contents (either or the Windows file system or in a specified FTP path) and to be notified (alerted) whenever the file count exceeds 0 during a given scan interval. How can I create a sensor to do this?
